And if one were to extend that reasoning, then Kerry’s first smile at Logan should have tipped us off. Tom has always acknowledged Logan’s power as impenetrable, and Shiv should not have underestimated that. Gerri has always protected her interests, and Roman should not have thought otherwise. The show is deliberate in its plotting and thoughtful in its double-crosses.
Yes, her! Like Jesse Armstrong has said before, Succession does not do red herrings. In the immortal words of Michael Bluth: “Her?” And yet even amid that established setup, Kerry’s rise and whatever relationship she’s cultivated with Logan has been quick, mostly unseen, and, Logan’s kids would probably say, catastrophic.
Succession has always been a fast-moving show, the narrative thrust of which has often been guided by offscreen events and the characters’ reactions to them: the cruises scandal and the Department of Justice investigation, Kendall’s moves to undermine his father and try to sway shareholder support his way, Shiv and Tom’s withering marriage. It’s rare to see someone from the former column crossing over into the latter, and yet there Kerry is by the time “All the Bells Say” starts, green juice in hand. The many assistants, employees, and fall-takers who populate Waystar Royco do most of the work that keeps the company running day-to-day, while Logan’s revolving inner circle of his children and established old-timers like Gerri, Frank, and Karl handle strategy, shareholders, and acquisitions. Will Logan’s quad of children have a new mommy - and a new younger sibling - when Succession’s fourth season grinds into motion next year? Amid the many moves and countermoves that Succession tracked over the nine episodes in its third season, Kerry’s steady ascendency might be the most surprising.

Over the course of the third season of Succession, Kerry has gone from silently lurking in muted outfits at Waystar Royco meetings to boldly stepping out in sunshine yellow, girl boss mauve, and icy aqua blue, sarcastically razzing Logan’s children (who are about her age) in between serving up smoothies full of “gloop”-enhancing abilities to her boss and, it’s heavily implied, lover. Logan Roy has a way of collecting Lady Macbeths, and the next in line might be personal assistant-slash-potential baby mama Kerry Castellabate, played by Zoë Winters.
